A. 
No unauthorized person may uncover, make any connections with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent.
B. 
Any person proposing a new discharge into the system or a substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants that are being discharged into the system must notify the Superintendent at least 45 days prior to the proposed change or connection.

There are two classes of building sewer permits:
(1) 
For residential and commercial service; and
(2) 
For service to establishments producing industrial wastes.
B. 
In either case, the owner or owner's agent is to make application on a special form furnished by the Town. The permit application is to be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent.
C. 
A permit and inspection fee for a residential or commercial building sewer permit and for an industrial building sewer permit is as set out in Appendix A and paid to the Town at the time the application is filed.
The size, slope, alignment, materials of construction of a building sewer, and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling the trench must all conform to the requirements of the state and town building and plumbing code or other applicable rules and regulations of the Town. In the absence of code provisions or in amplification thereof, the materials and procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASTM and WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9 apply.
A. 
Code specifications to govern connections. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer may only be made by one duly authorized to perform such work within the Town and must conform to the requirements of the state and town building and plumbing code or other applicable rules and regulations of the Town or the procedures set forth in appropriate specifications of the ASTM and the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9.
B. 
Deviations from standards. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the Superintendent before installation.
C. 
Tightness required. All such connections must be made gastight and watertight.
A separate and independent building sewer must be provided for every building; except that where one building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no private sewer is available or can be constructed to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building sewer from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one building sewer.
Whenever possible, the building sewer is to be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sanitary sewage carried by such building drain must be lifted by an approved means and discharged to the building sewer.
All excavations for building sewer installation are to be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways and other public property disturbed in the course of the work must be restored in a manner satisfactory to the Town.
No person may make connection of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer without the consent of the Superintendent.
